The Modern Glamour Blog

Old, new, high, low, modern, and glamour all come together in this West Hollywood apartment designed by Anne Coyle. It's the home-away-from-home of TV producer Ellen Rakieten (of Oprah Show fame) who commutes here regularly from Chicago. Often traveling without her family, the space was designed as a glamour-girl crash pad perfectly suited to Ellen's tastes. A quiet SoCal retreat both kid- and hubby free, could this be every working mother’s dream?
